Job description

About the Brand

Founded by CEO Adriana in 2013, Little Words Project began with a simple idea: to create bracelets that serve as wearable affirmations. What started as a personal project for Adriana, quickly grew into a movement, with each bracelet reminding its wearer of their worth, offering strength through tough times.

Now, 10 years and millions of bracelets later, our community continues to prove that kindness is a true superpower. We’re so grateful you’re here to be part of this journey. Remember: just be nice.

Handcrafted with Love
Each bracelet is custom-designed to represent a word or message uniquely yours. Choose from a variety of crystal or stone bead styles, and personalize it with a message of up to 13 characters.

Built on Kindness
Our bracelets are meant to be worn, loved, and shared. With every bracelet you wear, pass it on to someone who could use a little reminder of their worth. Together, we’re spreading kindness, one Little Word at a time.
